I've been warning everyone of this since the day Hollywood Video and Blockbuster closed their doors and Netflix's opened.

Physical is undeniably the only way to go.

some of both, with a heavy lean toward physical media, is the only way to go.

They couldn't compete with convenience and laziness.

late fees were a huge reason they failed. They even acknowledged that at the end too. Even before Netflix went to streaming, they were winning by no-late-fees.

I'm thinking Galaxy of Terror.

1) Is it good?
2) Is it horror?

I'd stop Blockbuster if they switched to streaming and mail too. Nothing was more fun than riding my lil bicycle to the video store and renting horror flicks on VHS.

this was before streaming was really a thing. if blockbuster had purchased netflix, we probably wouldn't be where we are to this extent. because they're model was primarily physical media and so they probably would have stayed that way rather than heading primarily into streaming and digital. their shortsightedness is costing us all.

Streaming was coming no matter what. Whether the company was called Netflix or not and Blockbuster bought it, something else was gonna take a stranglehold of that market. I blame society more than the companies, honestly.
